Written by Tomas Meskauskas on
What kind of page is newadsfit[.]com?
While inspecting dubious websites, our researchers found the newadsfit[.]com webpage. It operates by attempting to trick visitors into allowing spam browser notification delivery. Additionally, this site can redirect users to other (likely untrustworthy/dangerous) websites.
Most visitors to pages like newadsfit[.]com access them through redirects caused by sites using rogue advertising networks.
Newadsfit[.]com overview
The behavior of rogue websites (i.e., what they host/promote) may depend on the visitor's IP address/ geolocation. When we investigated newadsfit[.]com, it presented us with fake CAPTCHA verification - "Click 'Allow' if you are not a robot". By attempting to complete this bogus verification process - visitors will inadvertently enable newadsfit[.]com to deliver browser notifications. When we clicked the "Allow" button, it resulted in a redirect to the notadslife[.]com page.
Rogue sites use their notifications to run intrusive advertisement campaigns. The displayed ads endorse online scams, unreliable/harmful websites and software, and even malware.
To summarize, through webpages like newadsfit[.]com - users can experience system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

Browser notification spam in general
Topmusicalcomedy[.]com, essential-scan[.]com, cartech[.]cfd, fun4me[.]click, and xxx-offers[.]com are just some examples of rogue webpages that we have analyzed recently.
These websites display browser notifications that endorse deceptive/malicious content. Note that any legitimate products encountered via these adverts are unlikely to be promoted by their actual developers. Instead, this promotion is undertaken by scammers abusing the products' affiliate programs in order to acquire illegitimate commissions.
How did newadsfit[.]com gain permission to deliver spam notifications?
Websites cannot display browser notifications without user permission. Therefore, you've likely accessed newadsfit[.]com at some point and consented to the delivery of these advertisements. In order words, pressed "Allow", "Allow Notifications", or a similar option presented on this page.
It is pertinent to mention that rogue sites often use deception (e.g., fake CAPTCHA, clickbait, etc.) to lure visitors into enabling notification delivery.
How to prevent deceptive sites from delivering spam notifications?
To avoid receiving unwanted browser notifications, do not permit questionable websites to deliver them (i.e., do not click "Allow", "Allow Notifications", etc.). We recommend ignoring or denying notification delivery (i.e., pressing "Block", "Block Notifications", etc.).
Should you experience continuous unprompted redirects to dubious sites (e.g., newadsfit[.]com, etc.), it could be due to the presence of adware on the device. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
